My problem is that cron won't send out mail, anymore regardless of what I set the MAILTO-variable to in my crontab. This worked as expected before, but I can't remember what happend around the time it stopped. The system is FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, and regular sending of mail like "echo foo |mail lars@cl.no" works without problems. It's only cron that appears not to supply the target email as specified in MAILTO. What is wrong here? I don't really know how to debug this. Can crontabs be executed verbosely somehow? I see I'm getting these errors in /var/log/cron -- /usr/sbin/cron[3940]: getting vmemoryuse resource limit: Invalid argument -- ..might that be it? An error message could look like this: Subject: Mail failure - no recipient addresses Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 03:30:06 +0100 A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no delivery could be attempted. ------ This is a copy of your message, including all the headers. ------ Received: from root by XX.XX.no with local (Exim 3.36 #1) id 1B6KdB-000Eci-00; Thu, 25 Mar 2004 03:30:05 +0100 Message-Id: From: CronDaemon Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 03:30:05 +0100 Thanks! -- Mvh.
